We have kept very busy this year and it is only mid-April! Between Brent's upcoming examine and trip to Africa to my trips to College Station and Roundtop (that will be its own post sometime), we have found some time to be at home and have people visit us here.
First, in mid-March, Brent's parents came to visit us. Here is Cole with his Mimi and Papa. We had a great, relaxing visit with you both. Thanks for coming to see us!
The very next weekend Matt and Larra came to Houston to shoot a wedding and we got to keep Brody. We were thrilled! I love getting to play Aunt Leigh-leigh! It does not happen often enough! Love you Brody-boy! We had a great Friday night talking and playing with Matt, Larra, and Brody...Cole missed out on Friday because he goes to bed so early (that is not a complaint :) ). But Saturday, Cole was up and ready to play. Brody and Cole had a great time together! We are glad you were able to come and see us and thanks for letting us keep you, Brody!
Then two days later, Dena, Larra, and I (plus the boys) went to the Roundtop Antique Fair, only we never actually go to Roundtop (we hit a few other small towns around there with better deals or basically stuff in our price range). Last year, Matt and Brent played golf while we were shopping and found this amazing patch of bluebonnets behind Wal-Mart, so we had to stop again this year and take some pictures of the boys. Aren't they beautiful!
Brody 14 months, Cole 8 months

Next Sunday afternoon, we went to the Shell Houston Open. Our friends Keith and Ashley were given some great tickets and invited us to go with them. Thanks Rodgers! We also met up with the Zacs and Gilberts too while we were there, but it was super crowded being the final day and all, so we didn't hang out that long together. Cole did great and even got a nap in. We could not bring cameras or cell in with us so we took a picture when we got home...had to...my baby is in is plaid shorts! Soooo cute! Both of you! ;)
Then just this past weekend, it was Easter. My parents came down to celebrate the holiday with us and also had some business in Austin. While they were here, we hung out with my brother and his family and my Aunt Lois and Uncle Gayle who live in Spring. It was a great weekend, but we were all exhausted Sunday afternoon. If the Masters weren't so exciting, then I am sure there would have been more naps taken! :) Thanks for coming mom and dad and thanks for hosting us at your home Dave & Katherine!
Seriously, I need to get in front of the camera sometimes! I think it has been months since I had a picture taken with Cole...
